The first successful surgery for an ectopic pregnancy was performed by Robert Lawson Tait in 1883. [60] It is estimated that an acceptable rate of PULs that eventually undergo surgery is between 0.5 and 11%. [5] People that undergo salpingectomy and salpingostomy have a similar recurrent ectopic pregnancy rate of 5% and 8% respectively.
HELLP syndrome is a complication of pregnancy; the acronym stands for hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelet count. [ 1 ] It usually begins during the last three months of pregnancy or shortly after childbirth. [ 1 ] Symptoms may include feeling tired, retaining fluid, headache, nausea, upper right abdominal pain, blurry vision ...
83,100 (2015) [5] Postpartum bleeding or postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is often defined as the loss of more than 500 ml or 1,000 ml of blood following childbirth. [2] Some have added the requirement that there also be signs or symptoms of low blood volume for the condition to exist. [6] Signs and symptoms may initially include: an increased heart ...
ICD-9-CM. 66.4 - 66.6. MeSH. D058994. [edit on Wikidata] Salpingectomy refers to the surgical removal of a fallopian tube. This may be done to treat an ectopic pregnancy or cancer, to prevent cancer, or as a form of contraception. This procedure is now sometimes preferred over its ovarian tube-sparing counterparts due to the risk of ectopic ...
A heterotopic pregnancy is a complication of pregnancy in which both extrauterine (ectopic) pregnancy and intrauterine pregnancy occur simultaneously. [ 2 ] It may also be referred to as a combined ectopic pregnancy, multiple‑sited pregnancy, or coincident pregnancy. The most common site of the extrauterine pregnancy is the fallopian tube.
83,000 (2015) [3] Obstetrical bleeding is bleeding in pregnancy that occurs before, during, or after childbirth. [4] Bleeding before childbirth is that which occurs after 24 weeks of pregnancy. [4] Bleeding may be vaginal or less commonly into the abdominal cavity. Bleeding which occurs before 24 weeks is known as early pregnancy bleeding.
Common causes of early pregnancy bleeding include ectopic pregnancy, threatened miscarriage, and pregnancy loss. [1][2]Most miscarriages occur before 12 weeks gestation age.[2] Other causes include implantation bleeding, gestational trophoblastic disease, polyps, and cervical cancer. [1][2]Tests to determine the underlying cause usually include ...
The use of endoscopic instruments allows for short recovery time. This procedure has been associated with 85% survival rate of at least one fetus, with a 6–7% risk of cerebral palsy and average delivery occurring at 32–33 weeks' gestation. [5] Twin anemia–polycythemia sequence (TAPS) may occur after laser surgery for TTTS (post-laser form ...
